Book Description

Excerpt from Extracts From the Letters of Jonathan Hutchinson: With Some Brief Notices of His Life and Character It seems due to the reader of this volume, and to the memory of Jonathan Hutchinson, to prefix a little biographical information concerning him: this must necessarily be very brief, from the few incidents which his life presented. It is the less needful that much should be attempted as descriptive of character, because our beloved and honoured friend possessed in a remarkable manner the talent of conveying to his correspondents his mental feelings, his joys and conflicts. His letters are written in the confidence of friendship: but I believe that had he been consulted he would have freely left his friends at liberty to give a more extended circulation after his decease, to this disclosure of his opinions and his religious experience, if they thought that by so doing the Christian traveller would be warned, encouraged, or helped in his pilgrimage towards an eternal inheritance. In the hope that to more than a few they will prove in this way both acceptable and instructive they are now offered to the candid perusal of the public.
